@edinburghpicker

Occasional volunteer litter picker (EH12, Edinburgh, Scotland)
Since littering is a criminal offence, does me removing the evidence make me complicit..?!

A walk on #CorstorphineHill ๐ŸŒณ at dusk. Obviously armed with bag & #litter picker, because there's always someone who doesn't think leaving places the way you find them is a good idea.. ๐Ÿ˜’ Tidied up a campfire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, binned glass & molten plastic, dog ๐Ÿ’ฉ bags, dug out a sledge ๐Ÿ›ท

#Litter-pick no.2 for today โœŒ๐Ÿป In some bits it looks like tree guards have been removed, but not the wooden stakes ๐Ÿ˜• Often they still have #plastic cable ties attached... Some trees have grown around the plastic ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ˜ข Too many stakes to carry! #OneMillionBags #litter-bag 69

As if #plastic pollution isn't a serious problem... Which other problems have to be resolved first, before it's a good time to "mess around the edges"? ๐Ÿค”

Hi Grok, could you point my followers towards my posts please, because nobody seems to see them anymore! I don't know what has changed in the last couple of weeks, but something has... ๐Ÿค”

Short grass cut even shorter - every single week. How come there's money for that, The City of Edinburgh Council, while all bus stops remain full of graffiti? Why is graffiti not removed regularly instead, Edinburgh Council Help? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

After removing a heap of #plastic tree guards, I went back up #CorstorphineHill to remove bundles of stakes I'd left behind. Treated wood, so no place for them in #nature ๐ŸŒณ Bagged them up for collection . The kind of thing a friend of Corstorphine Hill does. Friends of Corstorphine hill

Six weeks ago now, @EdinHelp. Have you heard back yet about this? Originally reported last September. If roads were swept regularly, this build-up wouldn't have happened. Now it's a bigger job... ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ #Maintenance is the ๐Ÿ—๏ธ
